Please join us for a very special program covering the intersection of Government and Corporate ERM and Cybersecurity challenges. Art House is Connecticut's first Chief Cybersecurity Risk Officer and led the development of the stateâ€™s first comprehensive cybersecurity Strategy. The strategy was published in July 2017 and is now in the process of being turned into an action plan. Art will provide an overview of the strategy and the cooperation needed between government and business to improve our collective security and resilience. Sanjeev Handa will also be joining us. Sanjeev is an independent board director for Fitch ratings. Our program will be facilitated by Bob Mannarino, an NACD CT board member and our resident cybersecurity advocate.
The Connecticut Cybersecurity Strategy is available through the following webpage: http://portal.ct.gov/connecticut-cybersecurity-resource-page

Governance can take on a different meaning in private, private equity, and family owned businesses. Come hear an all-star panel of interviewers and panelists take on some of the predictable, unpredictable, and delicate nuances peculiar to companies not in the public space. How much Governance do you (really) want to put in there? Are you willing to pay for the higher standard of SOX compliance? Why are family and private companies intimidated by private equity? How does the Next Gen deal with the transient role of the Founder? What does Private Equity look out for when buying a family business? These topics, plus questions from the audience.

This yearly event allows private equity companies to connect with potential directors and operating executives for their current and future portfolio companies, as well as fostering a great atmosphere for the development and discussion of investment ideas and deals.

The event format is designed to increase introductions and opportunities through maximum efficiency networking. The Register Now link takes you to the ACG CT events page where you can register.
